Reefers! What is Your Profession?!

[Digimes]

Former military, part time aviator and 27 years local government supervisor. I was deep into reefing from 94-08, and took a long break until 2023. A lot has changed and yet many things are still the same. Love to share the view with the kids now.

I’m a cross between a Data Engineer and Software Developer. Also a father of 3, with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and I’m a husband to a wife who kind of tolerates my hobbies…

Worked for an outsourcing company in the telecommunication industry for 24 years. Ten years of that was testing business requirements and sanity testing on system and backend API functionality on how applications communicated with one another, internally with client and externally with customer. Then worked for a local telecommunication company doing helpdesk technical support for internet, phone, and cable. My wife’s eyes glazed over when I talked about what I did for these jobs, especially when someone asked. Eventually, I got tired of the telecom industry and now working in a medical practice as a medical support specialist.

Currently last 5 years asst. parts manager at a GM dealership. Spent 22 years in the retail parts industry 20 of those as a store manager. Also was a state certified auto mechanic for 20 years only really in legit practice for 1.5 years. If my career choice has leant anything to this hobby for me its time management. Oh and I can do some mean diy.

One I can directly relate to! You came into GM parts at just the right time... you got the COVID supply chain issues, and ran it nearly directly into the strike You lucked out on the bankruptcy though... that was a fun one.

20 year GM parts veteran here, managing since 2014. Just took my first role on the opposite side of the counter - Thursday was my first day as Service & Parts Director.

I'm also a trained technician, and have a few network engineering certs from the early 2000's. My job doesn't directly help me with reefing, but I'd say my love for breaking things down to their most basic parts to figure out how they work, and then make them better than they started is what helps both my reefing hobby and my career.
